Vinesh Phogat, India's star wrestler, faces further uncertainty as the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) postponed its verdict on her Paris Olympics appeal to August 16. Phogat, disqualified from the women’s 50kg gold medal match due to a weigh-in issue, sought a joint silver medal. This is the third time CAS has extended the deadline. Phogat had initially requested a nullification of her disqualification. As the delay continues, sports experts are calling for revisions to Olympic weigh-in rules. The final decision will be announced on August 16 by 9:30 pm IST.
